ToR of Committee to Study and Evaluate Online Macroeconomics Courses

A committee to study and evaluate online macroeconomics courses for use in our own teaching programs is hereby created:

1: Head & Responsible Party: Dr Anwar Husain

2. Dr. Waseem Shahid Malik

3. Dr Zahid Asghar

4. Ms Adeeba Ishaq

5. Mr. Haider Ali

Dr. Anwar Husain -- call a meeting of this committee as soon as possible. Anyone who is teaching macroeconomics is included on this list. Look at all the outlines. Assign task to people to study relevant lectures/courses from the online courses listed below -- THERE ARE SOME MORE good macro onlilne courses NOT on the list below -- assign someone to search and find these as well.

GOAL 1: Use SOME lectures or group of lectures as a substitute or supplement for lectures in macro currently being taught.

GOAL 2: To study possibility of using in ENTIRETY one of the courses below -- possibly with some supplementation from locally based lectures, for NEXT SEMESTER. If this is not feasible, then suggest MODULES -- collections of lectures on a topic, or even just one lecture which we could adopt for use on a permanent basis in subsequent semesters

TASK: Get/download recordings of the lecture, as well as any assigned homeworks or reading materials so that we can utilize locally -- Ask IT people for help with this if necessary. Investigate use of MOODLE with help of IT people for this task. [Khurram Iqbal and Nabeela Arshad to coordinate]

GOAL 4: LONG TERM Create a FULLY ONLINE E-COURSE for use starting September 2016, using MOODLE for example. This might involve borrowing some lectures from these sources and creating some lectures of our own. MORE ambitiously, we might CREATE A COURSE FROM SCRATCH, while keeping in mind the examples that we see by studying these online courses.
